I count four in Spanish: R (alveolar tap or flap), RR (alveolar trill), L (alveolar lateral approximant) and LL (palatal lateral approximant). And three in English.
The only "new thing" is a database abstraction layer that they should have already been using to begin with. Who in this day still writes their software heavily coupled to a single database rather than using a thin abstraction layer?
we did, it's desktopcouch. Turned out to be too thin.
Web development is development, so everything that runs for getting "ordinary" develpment work done run for web. The technologies are different, but they are always different. I'd recommend asking this question in one of joel spolsky's forums, such as this one
But the difference is that you don't have to if you don't want to. Besides, in a developing country, do you think that they will want to pay the faceless corporation or the little people who make open source?
in Argentina, at least, the answer is: whichever bribes better.
First, there's tvision, a port of Borland's turbovision to gcc. Unfortunately turbovision is not in the public domain as could be deduced from that page, so tvision is not free software and on shaky legal grounds, but borland doesn't seem to mind. Another interesting project is twin, which is a text-mode windowing environment, something like screen with a TUI. nstti, the not so tiny text interface, might make a good starting point if you decide to write your own in python. And there was this butt-ugly GUI that worked directly on vga hardware that would've been fine for POSes, but I can't find it right now.

For many people that is usually not a valid option. Public libraries are, too often, one of the first "luxuries" a government cuts back on, and are rendered not useful by sheer neglect.
(remember it's only a law project, so s/does/would as currently phrased/:)
with notable exceptions (e.g. military), the law would _require_ all software used by the government to be available in source form to the general public.
Our intention is twofold: first, to have the government _use_ exclusively open software, and second to have the government release all the software produced by or for it under [a version translated into argentine legalize of] the GPL.
TeX started out as, always has been, and always will be, about one thing and one thing alone: typesetting beautiful scientific documents. If you use MS Word to typeset math (for example; MSW can't really do any really complicated stuff like chemistry or music) and you don't find your work, your eyes, your personal history and your entire female ascendancy being humilliated by the poor output, then you'll never get TeX.
that qué pasa means "what happens", not "what's happening". There is a _big_ difference, you know. Yes, whathappens.com would sound more like a news site. And yes, queandapasando.com would sound much more like a hip-focused deal.

Our structured data sync service is CouchDB, except for tomboy notes. Syncing files is a completely separate stack.
remove the splash but not the quiet, and you should get what you want (but in text mode).
At last! Does it apply to ncurses too? What about S-Lang? newt? Can we be rid of turbo vision, too?

gah. tvision is here. Much too early to be posting on /.

If there isn't one, it's because you haven't written it yet.
How is a cathode ray being steered by a magnetic field digital?
the magnificent magnetic field steers the pesky photons by flicking its middle digit at them.
Actually the SI unit of temperature is the Kelvin, not degrees Celsius.

tadaa!
just point mplayer at the thing and stop moaning.

Obviously people who look at the code at this level do care, no?
that's *your* God, btw.

No. Could you?
Mysteriously, although a Pengiun is our mascot, we have no Antarctic representation. ;-)
there are, however, several people in Argentina, Chile and Australia, which are the summer spots for these animals.
